tā de shén shí ， bìng méi yǒu zài lín xuān shēn shàng duō zuò tíng liú ， jǐn jǐn yī dùn ， suí hòu jiù sǎo miáo xiàng bié chù 。( suí mèng quán wén zì gēng xīn zuì kuài )
他的神识，并没有在林轩身上多做停留，仅仅一顿，随后就扫描像别处。(随梦全文字更新最快)
His divine consciousness did not linger on Lin Xuan for long. After a brief scan, it moved to other places.
lín xuān cóng tiān yuán hóu de yǎn pí dǐ xià ， yìng shēng shēng táo guò yī jié le 。
林轩从天元侯的眼皮底下，硬生生逃过一劫了。
Lin Xuan had managed to escape from under the eyes of Tianyuan Marquis in one piece.
bù guò zhè yě bù néng wán quán shuō ， shì yīn wèi lín xuān yùn qì bù cuò ， guān jiàn hái zài yǔ ， tā zú gòu yǒng gǎn guǒ jué ， fǒu zé ， lín xuān ruò shì shāo yī dān gē ， huò zhě ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shī zhǎn tiān mó huà yīng zhī shù ， kǒng pà zhè jié guǒ ， gēn běn jiù shì liǎng yàng le 。
不过这也不能完全说，是因为林轩运气不错，关键还在与，他足够勇敢果决，否则，林轩若是稍一耽搁，或者，根本就没有施展天魔化婴之术，恐怕这结果，根本就是两样了。
However, this was not entirely due to his good luck. The key factor was that he was brave and decisive enough. If Lin Xuan had hesitated even slightly or failed to use the Heaven-Demon Transformation Technique, the outcome might have been different.
duì zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， bù guò zhì shǎo zhī dào ， yǎn qián de wēi jī ， suàn shì zàn qiě dù guò qù ， yú shì tā yě bù zài hú luàn zǒu dòng ， jiù zài yuán dì ， bì mù yǎng shén qǐ lái le 。
对这一切，林轩并不是很清楚，不过至少知道，眼前的危机，算是暂且度过去，于是他也不再胡乱走动，就在原地，闭目养神起来了。
Lin Xuan wasn't fully aware of all these details but at least knew that the current crisis was temporarily averted. He thus stopped wandering aimlessly and closed his eyes to rest in place.
yī shì ， zhè yàng bù yǐn rén zhù yì ， yǒu lì yú zì jǐ xiū xī 。
一是，这样不引人注意，有利于自己休息。
Firstly, this would keep him less noticeable, allowing for better rest. Secondly, after days of travel, both his spirit energy and physical strength were quite exhausted. Proper rest could help him recover and increase his chances of escaping if anything unexpected happened.
zhì yú dì èr diǎn ， zé shì lián xù gǎn le shí jǐ tiān de lù ， xiāo hào de fǎ lì zàn qiě bù tí ， zhè jīng shén yě shì hěn pí fá le ， hǎo hǎo xiū xī ， yǎng jīng xù ruì ， yī huì er ruò shì zhēn yǒu shén me biàn gù ， yě duō yī fèn bǎ wò néng gòu táo tuō 。
至于第二点，则是连续赶了十几天的路，消耗的法力暂且不提，这jīng神也是很疲乏了，好好休息，养jīng蓄锐，一会儿若是真有什么变故，也多一份把握能够逃脱。
After all, the old monster hadn't discovered him yet, but how the crisis would unfold was still uncertain.
bì jìng ， duì fāng gāng gāng suī rán méi yǒu fā xiàn zì jǐ ， dàn zhè wēi jī jiāng rú hé liǎo jú hái shì bù hǎo shuō dì 。
毕竟，对方刚刚虽然没有发现自己，但这危机将如何了局还是不好说地。
The safest course of action for now was to observe and wait.
dàn jiù mù qián de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， jìng guān qí biàn shì zuì hǎo xuǎn zé 。
但就目前的情况来说，静观其变是最好选择。
However, Lin Xuan's calm demeanor did not extend to everyone else. As the saying goes: "Misfortune may be an actual blessing in disguise; a blessing may hide misfortune." Most cultivators rarely had the opportunity to encounter powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
rán ér lín xuān néng gòu chù biàn bù jīng ， què bù dài biǎo qí tā rén dōu yǒu zhè fèn xīn xìng。
然而林轩能够处变不惊，却不代表其他人都有这份心xìng。
But if they did meet one, would it truly be a great fortune?
sú huà shuō ， fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， què rán méi yǒu shén me jī huì jiàn dào dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
俗话说，福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，一般的修仙者，确然没有什么机会见到渡劫期的大能修仙者。
Not necessarily!
rán ér yí dàn pèng jiàn le ， shì fǒu jiù zhēn shì tiān dà de jī yuán ne ？
然而一旦碰见了，是否就真是天大的机缘呢？
If the old monster was willing to offer guidance, the opportunity would indeed be valuable. However, many ancient monsters of that level often had unpredictable temperaments. A single disagreement could lead to their downfall, which was not strange at all.
wèi bì ！
未必！
Especially considering how suddenly this Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse appeared and his actions were so unsavory.
duì fāng ruò yuàn yì tí diǎn zì jǐ ， zhè jī yuán què rán bù sú 。
对方若愿意提点自己，这机缘确然不俗。
After initial shock, millions of ordinary people and cultivators in the entire City of Hearing Heaven were filled with fear and unease.
dàn xiū wèi dào le nà ge děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， hěn duō dōu shì pí xìng gǔ guài de ， ruò shì yī yán bù hé ， jiù yǐn lái shā shēn zhī huò ， yě sī háo méi yǒu qí guài zhī chù 。
但修为到了那个等级的老怪物，很多都是脾xìng古怪的，若是一言不合，就引来杀身之祸，也丝毫没有奇怪之处。
"Fortune or misfortune, we can't escape what's meant to be!"
yóu qí yǎn qián zhè wèi dù jié qī dà néng de xiàn shēn ， shì rú cǐ tū rán 。 biǎo qíng jǔ dòng 。 yòu rú cǐ de bù shàn 。
尤其眼前这位渡劫期大能的现身，是如此突然。表情举动。又如此的不善。
Many people had this thought running through their minds. But even if they knew it was bad, could they still resist a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse?
zài zuì chū de jīng yà guò hòu ， zhěng gè wén tiān chéng ， jìn qiān wàn de fán rén yǔ xiū xiān zhě 。 wú bù huáng kǒng bù ān 。
在最初的惊讶过后，整个闻天城，近千万的凡人与修仙者。无不惶恐不安。
Most just stood there trembling, praying for the ordeal to pass without incident.
shì fú bú shì huò ， shì huò duǒ bù guò ！
是福不是祸，是祸躲不过！
However, not everyone in this area of cultivators shared such thoughts.
hěn duō rén de nǎo hǎi zhōng ， dōu mò míng de mào chū zhè ge niàn tou lái le 。
很多人的脑海中，都莫名的冒出这个念头来了。
In a hidden place near the western side of the city, several cultivators were discussing anxiously. Two men and one woman, all at the Profound Dao stage, were talking. A dark-faced man wearing blue satin robes spoke first: "Brother, what do you think about that old monster above us?"
rán ér jí biàn zhī dào bù miào yòu rú hé 。 miàn duì dù jié qī dà néng ， nán dào tā men hái yǒu fǎn kàng de yú dì me ？
然而即便知道不妙又如何。面对渡劫期大能，难道他们还有反抗的余地么？
"I don't know, why should I?"
suǒ yǐ dà bù fèn rén ， yě zhǐ shì zhàn zhàn jīng jīng de zài yuán dì dāi zhe ， qí dǎo néng gòu jiāng zhè yī jié píng ān dù guò 。
所以大部分人，也只是战战兢兢的在原地呆着，祈祷能够将这一劫平安度过。
The other man with a beard replied irritably.
rán ér cǐ dì nà me duō xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán bù kě néng rén rén jiē shì zhè zhǒng xīn sī le 。
然而此地那么多修仙者，自然不可能人人皆是这种心思了。
"Perhaps he came here because of our newly acquired treasure!" The young woman beside him interjected. She looked around seventeen or eighteen years old but had an ordinary appearance.
zài kào jìn cǐ chéng xī cè de yī yǐn bì zhī suǒ ， jiù yǒu jǐ míng xiū shì shén sè bù ān de yì lùn zhe shén me 。
在靠近此城西侧的一隐蔽之所，就有几名修士神sè不安的议论着什么。
"It's unlikely, the new treasure is invaluable to us at this stage, but for someone at the Tribulation Transcendence level, it should be insignificant," the dark-faced man said after some thought.
liǎng nán yī nǚ ， jiē shì dòng xuán qī ， cǐ kè shuō huà de ， shì yī míng shēn chuān lán duàn cháng páo de hēi liǎn hàn zi 。 miàn róng pǒ wèi chǒu lòu de yàng zi ：“ dà gē ， nǐ kàn tou dǐng nà lǎo guài wù shì hé lái lù ？”
两男一女，皆是洞玄期，此刻说话的，是一名身穿蓝缎长袍的黑脸汉子。面容颇为丑陋的样子：“大哥，你看头顶那老怪物是何来路？”
"Hmph, even if it’s not, he looks like a dangerous person. No matter his intentions, this city might end up in ruins," the bearded man sneered.
“ nǐ wèn wǒ ， wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ？”
“你问我，我又哪里晓得？”
"Impossible! This city is under the influence of True Extreme Sect, and such a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse wouldn't dare act so recklessly," the woman exclaimed. They had chosen this place because of the reputation of the True Extreme Sect for protection.
lìng yī mǎn liǎn qiú xū de dà hàn méi hǎo qì de shuō 。
另一满脸虬须的大汉没好气的说。
"Hmph, if it weren’t for the influence of that sect, we might have escaped. But now, our danger is even greater due to their involvement." The bearded man said dismissively.
“ tā gāi bú huì shì yīn wèi wǒ men zuì jìn xīn dé de nà jiàn bǎo wù 。 suǒ yǐ cái lái zhè lǐ de ba ！” páng biān nà nián qīng nǚ zǐ yě kāi kǒu le 。 cǐ nǚ kàn shàng qù ， dà yuē shí qī bā suì nián jì 。 rán ér róng mào què shì pǔ tōng yǐ jí 。
“他该不会是因为我们最近新得的那件宝物。所以才来这里的吧！”旁边那年轻女子也开口了。此女看上去，大约十七八岁年纪。然而容貌却是普通以极。
"Brother, what do you mean?"
“ yīng gāi bú huì ba ， nà jiàn xīn dé de bǎo wù ， duì wǒ děng dòng xuán qī xiū shì lái shuō ， gù rán bǎo guì yǐ jí ， dàn duì fāng nǎi dù jié qī ， yīng gāi bù kě néng fàng zài yǎn lǐ 。” nà hēi liǎn nán zi xiǎng le xiǎng ， jiào wéi kěn dìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr le 。
“应该不会吧，那件新得的宝物，对我等洞玄期修士来说，固然宝贵以极，但对方乃渡劫期，应该不可能放在眼里。”那黑脸男子想了想，较为肯定的声音传入耳了。
The dark-faced man was surprised before his expression turned thoughtful.
“ hēng ， jiù suàn bú shì yòu rú hé ， duì fāng yī kàn jiù lái zhě bù shàn de ， bù guǎn tā de mù dì shì shén me ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， zhè wén tiān chéng dōu yǒu kě néng bèi yí wéi píng dì de 。” nà qiú xū dà hàn lěng xiào zhe shuō 。” yí wéi píng dì ， bù kě néng ba ， cǐ chéng kě shì zhēn jí mén de shì lì ， duì fāng jiù suàn shì dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， yě bù gǎn rú cǐ sì wú jì dàn de 。” nà nǚ zǐ jīng hū ， dāng chū tā men zhī suǒ yǐ xuǎn zé zhè lǐ zuò wéi luò jiǎo zhī suǒ ， jiù shì kàn zhòng zhēn jí mén wēi míng yuǎn bō ， kě yǐ wèi tā men tí gōng bì hù 。
“哼，就算不是又如何，对方一看就来者不善的，不管他的目的是什么，最后的结果，这闻天城都有可能被夷为平地的。”那虬须大汉冷笑着说。”夷为平地，不可能吧，此城可是真极门的势力，对方就算是渡劫期修仙者，于情于理，也不敢如此肆无忌惮的。”那女子惊呼，当初他们之所以选择这里作为落脚之所，就是看中真极门威名远播，可以为他们提供庇护。
"Heh, looks like you’ve figured it out too. Such a show of force indicates something of great importance. His search here has already offended the True Extreme Sect. If we were in his position, would we destroy this city to keep things secret?" The bearded man said slowly.
“ hēng ， zhè lǐ ruò bú shì zhēn jí mén de shì lì ， wǒ men hái yǒu kě néng táo guò yī jié ， zhèng yīn wèi yǒu gāi pài qiān chě ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men cái gèng wēi xiǎn de 。” nà qiú xū dà hàn bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。” dà gē shì shuō ……”
“哼，这里若不是真极门的势力，我们还有可能逃过一劫，正因为有该派牵扯，所以我们才更危险的。”那虬须大汉不以为然的说。”大哥是说……”
"Impossible! Even if we don’t consider the ordinary people, there are hundreds of thousands of cultivators at various levels. How could he possibly eliminate everyone without leaving a single one behind?" The young woman’s face showed shock.
nà hēi liǎn nán zi yī è ， suí hòu lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de biǎo qíng lái le 。
那黑脸男子一愕，随后露出若有所思的表情来了。
"Heh, most people can't do this, but that old monster is a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse. You haven’t seen such power before, but I once witnessed it firsthand. His strength and abilities are terrifying beyond imagination. He could destroy the world if he wanted to. Eliminating a small city isn’t even worth mentioning. With his powerful divine consciousness, no one would have a chance to escape," the bearded man sneered.
“ hēi ， kàn lái nǐ yě xiǎng dào le ， duì fāng rú cǐ dà zhāng qí gǔ ， suǒ tú móu de kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě de shì wù ， ér qiě tā lái zhè lǐ dà sì sōu suǒ ， běn shēn jiù dà dà dé zuì zhēn jí mén le ， rú guǒ huàn chéng nǐ yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， huì bú huì jiāng cǐ chéng chè dǐ mǒ chú ， yǐ biàn néng gòu bǎo mì ne ？” qiú xū dà hàn huǎn huǎn de shuō 。
“嘿，看来你也想到了，对方如此大张旗鼓，所图谋的肯定是非同小可的事物，而且他来这里大肆搜索，本身就大大得罪真极门了，如果换成你与他易地而处，会不会将此城彻底抹除，以便能够保密呢？”虬须大汉缓缓的说。
"Brother, does that mean we’re doomed?"
“ bù kě néng ba ， cǐ chéng fán rén zàn qiě bù tí ， gè zhǒng děng jiē de xiū xiān zhě kě shì bù xià bǎi wàn zhī shù ， duì fāng néng gòu yí gè bù luò de quán bù mǒ chú ？” nà nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng xiàn chū shí fēn chī jīng de shén sè。
“不可能吧，此城凡人暂且不提，各种等阶的修仙者可是不下百万之数，对方能够一个不落的全部抹除？”那女子脸上现出十分吃惊的神sè。
The young woman was terrified. She had just reached the Profound Dao stage after much effort and had many years of life ahead. She didn’t want to die like this for nothing.
“ hēi ， yì bān rén zì rán shì zuò bú dào cǐ shì de ， dàn zhè lǎo guài wù ， nǎi shì chuán shuō zhōng de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè zhǒng dà néng ， nǐ men méi yǒu jiàn guò ， dàn běn rén jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què yǒu guò yī cì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， qí shí lì shǒu duàn zhī kě pà ， jué bú shì nǐ men néng gòu xiǎng xiàng de ， shuō yǒu huǐ tiān miè dì zhī néng yě bù wèi guò ， mǒ chú qū qū yī zuò chéng chí gēn běn suàn bù liǎo shén me ， yǐ tā shén shí zhī qiáng ， yě gēn běn bú huì yǒu rén xún zhǎo dào jī huì táo tuō 。” nà qiú xū dà hàn lěng xiào zhe shuō 。
“嘿，一般人自然是做不到此事的，但这老怪物，乃是传说中的渡劫期修仙者，这种大能，你们没有见过，但本人机缘巧合，却有过一次亲眼目睹，其实力手段之可怕，绝不是你们能够想象的，说有毁天灭地之能也不为过，抹除区区一座城池根本算不了什么，以他神识之强，也根本不会有人寻找到机会逃脱。”那虬须大汉冷笑着说。
"Heh, if it were in an open field, we would have no chance, but here, things might be different…" The bearded man revealed a mysterious expression.
“ zhào dà gē zhè me shuō ， wǒ men qǐ bù shì sǐ dìng le ？”
“照大哥这么说，我们岂不是死定了？”
"Oh, brother, please tell us."
nà nián qīng nǚ zǐ jīng huáng qǐ lái ， tā kě shì lì jīng xīn kǔ ， hǎo bù róng yì cái gāng gāng jìn jiē dào dòng xuán qī de ， yǎn kàn yǒu màn cháng de shòu yuán hǎo huó ， zì rán bù yuàn yì jiù zhè yàng mò míng qí miào de bái bái yǔn luò 。
那年轻女子惊惶起来，她可是历经辛苦，好不容易才刚刚进阶到洞玄期的，眼看有漫长的寿元好活，自然不愿意就这样莫名其妙的白白陨落。
"Yes, brother, the situation is critical, stop teasing us," his two companions said excitedly. Their voices were so low that they wouldn’t attract attention in such a tense moment.
“ hēi ， rú guǒ zhēn shì zài kuàng yě zhī chù ， yù jiàn cǐ rén ， wǒ men zì rán shì jué wú huó lù ， bù guò xiàn zài què shì wèi bì de ……” nà qiú xū dà hàn lù chū yī sī shén mì zhī sè de kāi kǒu le 。
“嘿，如果真是在旷野之处，遇见此人，我们自然是绝无活路，不过现在却是未必的……”那虬须大汉露出一丝神秘之sè的开口了。
"It’s simple. This city has a teleportation array. If we act unexpectedly and escape through it while destroying the other end, as long as we can travel more than a million li away, even a Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse would be powerless," the man said smugly.
“ ó ， dà gē ， yǒu shén me fāng fǎ nǐ kuài shuō 。”
“哦，大哥，有什么方法你快说。”
Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound entered his ears. He turned to look and his face changed dramatically.
“ shì a ， dà gē ， rú jīn xíng shì wēi jī ， nǐ jiù bú yào zài mài guān zi le 。”
“是啊，大哥，如今形势危机，你就不要再卖关子了。”
The rumbling came from a house about ten miles to his left. If he hadn’t mistaken, that was where the teleportation array of City of Hearing Heaven was set up.
tā de liǎng míng tóng bàn tīng le ， zì rán shì lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè， què yuè huān hū ， bù guò shēng yīn yī jiù shì xiǎo dào jí chù ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng shí kè ， dāng rán bù néng yǐn qǐ rèn hé rén de zhù yì le 。
他的两名同伴听了，自然是露出大喜过望之sè，雀跃欢呼，不过声音依旧是小到极处，如今这种时刻，当然不能引起任何人的注意了。
"Bad luck, someone has already beaten us."
“ hěn jiǎn dān ， zhè wén tiān chéng ， zì rán shì yǒu chuán sòng zhèn de ， wǒ men ruò shì chū qí bù yì ， tōng guò cǐ wù táo tuō ， zài jiāng lìng yī tóu de chuán sòng zhèn huǐ qù ， zhǐ yào néng gòu yī cì táo gè shàng bǎi wàn lǐ ， duì fāng jiù suàn shì dù jié qī ， yě yī yàng shì rú zhī nài hé dì 。”
“很简单，这闻天城，自然是有传送阵的，我们若是出其不意，通过此物逃脱，再将另一头的传送阵毁去，只要能够一次逃个上百万里，对方就算是渡劫期，也一样是如之奈何地。”
If someone had teleported away first, the old monster would be on high alert, and this plan wouldn't work anymore. The bearded man was furious and regretted his earlier words. If he had gone there first, he might have been standing at the teleportation array now.
dà hàn de xiào róng shí fēn dé yì ， zhèng wèi zì jǐ néng gòu xiǎng chū zhè me miào de zhǔ yì xīn xǐ ， tū rán ， yī zhèn qīng wēi de hōng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， yī xià zi liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
大汉的笑容十分得意，正为自己能够想出这么妙的主意欣喜，突然，一阵轻微的轰鸣声传入耳朵，他循声转过头颅，一下子脸sè大变了。
Too late to regret their talkativeness.
nà hōng míng shēng lái zì zuǒ cè shù shí lǐ wài de yī zuò fáng wū ， rú guǒ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， nà lǐ zhèng shì wén tiān chéng chuán sòng zhèn de shè zhì zhī suǒ 。
那轰鸣声来自左侧数十里外的一座房屋，如果没有看错，那里正是闻天城传送阵的设置之所。

His divine consciousness did not linger on Lin Xuan for long. After a brief scan, it moved to other places.
Lin Xuan had managed to escape from under the eyes of Tianyuan Marquis in one piece.
